MISS GRACE FELGAR AND MISS MARCIA COWEN IJNIUGATIIJNS, ETC. 0 The four year English course of Wheaton High School takes its students through its many diverse phases with a few extras including world literature and speech. The conventional grammar, American and English literature, and composition are not quite so conventional when taught by Cormick, Miss Felgar, and Miss Cowen. Mf:N.IQeys, our speech teacher, is the debate team adviser too. Some fuligi students have been very successful in oratorical contests as well as on the 'stage in assembly. Miss Felgar's humor and good advice keep her classes cheerful and MISS EDITH MCCORMICK AND MR. JOHN KEYS MR. CHARLES VAUGHN AND MR. HORACE IQIIXIW MISS AGNES MONTGOMERIE Y Page Fourteen gay all the time. Her Tuesday papersv try the originality of the juniors. The kindly senior class advisor, Miss McCormick, could make any- body love poetry. Most of the seniors now do. Miss Cowen's freshman English classes start our little hopefuls in the right direction. We hope they keep headed that way. In addition to the academic and scientific courses, certain courses are offered to the commercials and generals, such as: business corre- spondence, journalism, and advertisin .

This de artment in our school, however, kee s thin s movin ri ht alon with Xf P P g s s s lively discussions on apropos subjects. f Mr Hix expounds some very startling theories and his classes usually come ' J out all agog with new ideas plus world history data. Economics, which along with sociology, is a required senior academic course, really teaches the high and mighties where their money goes. Mr. Vaughn's Friday discussions on the American Observer keep his students up on present day affairs as well as historical facts which they learn in American history. Commercial law and geography are his two other subjects. Miss Sparks, although new this year, has fitted in perfectly as any student of social science, history and English will affirm. FACT AND FICTION IN PRINT 0 We're proud of our Gregg library in spite of Miss Montgomerie's annual tirade against lost books. The collection of reference material is adequate for almost all our needs, and what we can't find here is sure to be in the Wheaton Memorial Library. The library is open after school as well as during the day when it may be used by those lucky students who have study halls.

MISS MARTHA DOUGLASS. School Nurxr 0 That jabbing needle bearing tuberculosis germ Finding serum may frighten the poor victims but with Miss Martha Douglas smiling them on, their confidence that life will go on returns. When one is feeling low down it is comfort- ing to know that there is a responsible sympa- thetic nurse to run to in a cheery, light, well equipped hospital room. MR. M. F. ROBERTS, Principal A.B. Harvard M.A. Wisconsin U M. F. R. scrawled on a blue pass is as much a sign post to the senior class as are his puns in sociology class. His all seeing wisdom is im- possible to breakdown with argument. We en- joy his classes, his personal attention to our problems, and the cheerful confidence he prof motes throughout our school. -1: Page Thirteen Y MISS IRENE STAFFORD, MRS.

M , FRANK EFFI NCY EXPERTS ' Type, type, type, figure, figure, figure. All this adds up to a very essential part of our school which occupies the third floor south corridor. Miss Josephine Wiggins, the typing teacher, keeps her classes different with gay stories of toreadors and such stuff. f MISS PHYLLIS BIXLER D Miss crixms sciiagjxvenra J. 4 ' he 1 'ff ,f X ft . as Mit.

' Mr. Sandholm teaches business ggjence, a far from his violin artistry. Miss Scharnweber dictates mueffgtoo rapidly for her shorthand pupils, but they sShe day will be v efficient secretaries for their trouble. 4 . ' HEALTHY Bomrs .nm 0 Wheaton is athletically minded in a big way. Gur various teams are worth all the praise we can give them, and thus, indirectly, the coaches are too. Coaches Horsley and Colin do something more than just teach the competing teams, however. Gym classes twice a week for every fit boy take up a good deal of time as do intramural games played almost every winter's night. MR. CIIARLES COLIN f .1 I!! lk . J bfxfff X-.. Coach Colin doesn't just coach but oddly enough teaches English too. We know itls a peculiar combination, but Mr. Colin's beaming smile could put anything over. Coach Horsley sticks to athletics which he really knows. Page Fifteen Miss Bixler, although new this year, is popular already, especially with the G.A.A. girls whom she advises.
